New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Breakout artist Tayla Parx released the video for her latest single, "Dance Alone," which is out now on TaylaMade/Atlantic Records. "
Dance Alone" is available to stream and download at all available streaming services. More music to come soon from Parx, who is set to release a new album, Coping Mechanisms, later this year.
Of the video, Parx says, "We're all stuck inside, while coping with being away from loved ones more than usual. We need human connection, but at least when you're home dancing in your pajamas while blasting your favorite song, you feel a little less alone. You have the music to keep you company. Show me you're dancing alone if you can relate."
The track was co-written by Parx, Grammy Award-winner Kameron Glasper (Babyface, Tyrese) and Lara Andersson, and was produced by Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman (H.E.R., J. Cole, Mac Miller) and Oscar Görres (The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Charli XCX) at Parx's own Grey Noise Studios in New York City.
Last year, Parx released her debut album, We Need To Talk, via Atlantic Records to widespread critical praise-The New York Times proclaimed, "The new album, like Parx's best hits, is playful and conversational, blending pop, R&B and traces of rap with plenty of Grande-esque high notes," while Rolling Stone called it "a solid pop manifesto from a child-star-turned-pop-savant." Variety added, "Fans finally got a glimpse of the preternaturally seasoned songwriter."

7 Rings" and "My Everything," Janelle Monáe's Dirty Computer,
